Can budgies eat cauliflower?
Yes, budgies can eat cauliflower in small amounts. UC Davis includes cauliflower on its vegetable list for pet birds, and Purdue uses it in its vegetable mix.
How to serve it: washed, small florets
Good to know: Our German and Swiss budgie sources don’t mention cauliflower, and we found no source on the leaves.
